Cold in July (2014)
7/10
An edgy thriller
11 July 2014
An ordinary man finds an intruder in his home and shoots him dead. As far as the police is concerned, no law has been broken and no suspicion falls upon the landlord, although his conscience bothers him having to live with the fact that he killed someone.

The law might not be concerned but the father of the deceased is. Having just been released from prison he is not prepared to simply accept that this family man killed his son in self-defence after the latter had illegally entered his property.

Early on, the audience is geared up towards the clash of the two. It is unavoidable that their paths will meet and when that happens it will be explosive. However, what if not everything is as it seems? When these two meet, will it lead to a clash to death or...?

Those who read my blog are aware that I don't give out outcomes or spoilers. A moral tale, becomes a police tale and morphs into a deceit and vengeance tale.

It might have been during a July when these events took place, but the tone is surely cold. Step by step new realities unfold all the way to the dramatic climax whereby there cannot be a turning back for all involved.

A highly effective, edgy crime/thriller that will keep you firmly in your seat all the way to the end.
